How to release raid content for both casual and hard core players every patch.

[Yenn]

I like how people are using the term 'hardcore' and 'casual.' They aren't correct. The terms you're looking for are 'good players' and 'bad players.'
It's far enough into the game that anyone who can't down BC is bad.

SE is catering to bad players who lack basic motor skills, not 'casual' players. Even 'casual' players are already working on Turn 5.

Incorrect. "Hardcore" and "casual" players are determined by how much time they invest into the game as a player. Casual players are typically those who have a life outside of whatever MMO game launched this month, or they just don't want to play a game like a full time job.

I agree that anyone that cannot pass HM Titan at this point who is geared for it is a terrible terrible player and should probably stop. However, you don't see SE nerfing Titan to let scrubs through. What you see them doing is introducing new content to allow them to gear up to the point where a group can have 1 or 2 people die and still defeat him handily.

I've been playing 30+hrs a week since launch and I haven't even attempted coil. I've had plenty to do with leveling alternates and crafting. I just don't see the hurry. It's not a race.

For some it is. You don't decide how others plays the game.. For some the joy of gaming is to get server/world firsts, while you can enjoy simply crafting and levelling alts, but 95% of community calls that boring (since it's essentially an endless grind). Level 50 has 1 huge grind also when u arrive, but after the DL grind its just to do the 300 myth cap each week, whereas u get 150-200myth in like 1 hour from coil.

People play the game differently, and SE should try to make everyone happy, which does not require any extra work, just a bit change of plans on the difficulty of content, and follow what the OP here said.

So 95% of the community has cleared coil and is bored of the game? I just wish people would get over it. If you don't have the patience to wait for new content, unsubscribe and move on. You won't be missed.

Because people quitting is exactly what this game needs. Damn, you should be running the game, not Yoshi P.

It doesn't matter if the hardcore 1% quit because in the time it takes them to reach the end of progression in whatever new game they choose, SE will have released 2.2-3 and they'll just re-sub and do it all over again. Meanwhile, the other 99% of the population is still playing and paying SE's salaries (which is all that matters in the end).

the hardcore 1% ... the other 99%

Is Occupy Wall Street protesting the FF14 forums now?

Please explain to me why "trying hard" is a negative trait. When children play on a school sports team, do you not encourage them to try their best, even though it's just a game? When did effort at play become a bad thing? Would you take it as a compliment if someone called you lazy then?

You sir, are a true idiot. Thats like saying people that have lives and those that don't. Some of us have jobs and don't have 8-10 hours a day to play a game.

You certainly don't need to spend 8-10 hours everyday for 3 months to be good at the game.

It's plainly just being bad.
